Known as M-Blocks, the robots are cubes with no external moving parts. Nonetheless, they're able to climb over and around one another, leap through the air, roll across the ground, and even move while suspended upside down from metallic surfaces.
Inside each M-Block is a flywheel that can reach speeds of 20,000 revolutions per minute; when the flywheel is braked, it imparts its angular momentum to the cube. On each edge of an M-Block, and on every face, are cleverly arranged permanent magnets that allow any two cubes to attach to each other.

Nanotechnology, the new science of extreme miniaturization, is a rapidly growing field in engineering. On this size scale, it is extremely difficult and expensive to fabricate analogs of macroscale engineering, such as grippers. Drawing inspiration from biological fabrication in nature, engineers are seeking to self-assemble structures from the bottom up. The Gracias Lab at The Johns Hopkins University has developed a relatively easy, precise, and cost-effective process by which the 2D templates of semi-tethered "faces" can self-assemble into controlled 3D structures by utilizing the natural phenomena of surface tension as well as thin-film stress.

Proteins control nearly all of life's functions, but how they self-assemble, or fold, is an unsolved problem in biology. Understanding how folding goes awry could lead to cures for diseases caused by protein misfolding, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Stanford chemistry ProfessorVijay Pande's project Folding@home borrows computing time from home computers to simulate how proteins fold. By modeling protein folding, Pande says, "We hope to get exquisite detail and information that you might not be able to get from experiments."

Scientists from Rice University have demonstrated that Tesla coils can wirelessly induce carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into wire-like patterns by electrifying them with its powerful electric field. The phenomenon is called “Teslaphoresis,” and the resulting wires can also draw energy from the force field to power circuits. In one experiment, the self-assembled nanotubes lit an LED by forming a circuit and absorbing energy from the Tesla coil. http://goo.gl/22YdS0

Mat Zo

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "birth_place?" is not recognized

Matan Zohar (born 30 April 1990), better known by his stage name Mat Zo, is a Grammy-nominated British producer, composer and DJ. Zohar released his debut album, Damage Control, via the Anjunabeats and Astralwerks labels on 5 November 2013.

Life and career

The son of artist Israel Zohar, and half-brother of Israeli singer Alma Zohar, Matan Zohar was born in London in 1990. He was raised by his mother, Wendy Caron Zohar, a professional violinist who, with staunch musical ethos, nurtured Matan's early love of—and prodigious inclination toward—music. From age one to eleven, Zohar and his family lived in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, US. It was there at age 8 where his father presented young Zohar with a guitar as a gift. He returned at age 11 to London and continued pursuing his musical interests as a drummer and bassist as a member of a jazz and rock band respectively. However, Zohar became more interested in musical acts such as Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers, and his musical inclinations shifted to those of electronic dance music and DJing.
